Spinster aunt reads comment on Dawkins website, wrinkles lip
Liberal dudes (and that boobquake chick) just love celebrity biologist Richard Dawkins. Even some Internet feminists may be said not to vomit blood at the mention of his name.

A lil bit of twerking and lifting
Patriarchy blamers are world renowned for their (professed) eschewment of cable television, so it is possible that you have not heard of the most misogynist TV show ever conceived.

Little Miss Muffet
“Here is my question,” announces blamer JenniferRuth. “Can arachnophobia be blamed on the patriarchy?” The answer is yes!

Spinster aunt wastes time
Of the many time-wasting hobbies in which spinster aunts are known to indulge, one of the most beloved is the close reading — or megamicronalysis, to use the clinical term — of some passage of text or other. Why the close reading? Why not para-sailing? Why not chemical engineering? Because spinster aunts used to be …

Spinster aunt executes close reading of seemingly benign remark, exposes hidden meanings!
Thanks to yesterday’s involuntary contributors, Valerie, Dr Sarah Tonin, and Saphire. You kids are all right. Today I’ll be picking a few more nits on the same theme.
